PVPVE 1.43

PVPVE Plugin – True Coexistence of PVP and PVE in ARK Clusters

Core Features

• Dynamic PVP ↔ PVE switching
  Players can switch modes with optional delay and cooldown. Or disable switching entirely — your call.
• Full PVE protection system
  • No damage from or to PVE players, dinos, or structures.
  • Prevents PVE players from harming PVP players, and vice versa.
  • Even turrets obey — no shooting if either party is in PVE.
  • Smart targeting: turrets skip PVE players and hit the PVP target behind them.
• C4 placement control
  • Prevents placing C4 near protected structures or players — not just directly on them.
  • This protects against AOE abuse, maintaining PVE integrity without limiting PVP realism.
• Buff & interaction safeguards
  • Buffs require both players to be in PVP.
  • Dragging, carrying, and other interactions are blocked between PVP and PVE participants.
• Turret configuration flexibility
  • Optionally allow turrets to shoot PVE players.
  • Customize damage multiplier for PVP turrets hitting PVE targets.
• ⚔ Taming protection
  • Knocked-out dinos are protected unless both attacker and defender are in PVP.
  • No more griefing mid-tame.
• Tribe enforcement system
  • Players must remain in the same tribe cluster-wide.
  • Cannot join a tribe with a different owner than the one they belong to elsewhere.
• Custom timing logic
  • Define max duration in PVE.
  • Set cooldown after switching to prevent abuse.
  • Automatic wipe delay for protection.
• 🛠 Structure-only protection mode
  • Optional mode that only protects buildings — not players or dinos.

👁 Quality-of-Life & Admin Tools

• Visible PVE tag: PVE players can automatically receive a visible tag in their name (e.g., [PVE]) for easy identification.
• Custom message timing: Prevents spam from repeated damage attempts (adjustable message delay).
• Webhook logging: Log all PVP switch events to Discord via webhook (optional).
• Admin control:
  • Restrict switching to tribe owners.
  • Admins can force or remove PVE status from any player, including offline ones.
  • Supports permission groups for extra control.

Cluster-Wide Sync & Persistence

• Changes apply cluster-wide – one config to rule them all.
• Supports MySQL and SQLite backends.
• All settings are fully customizable.
• Default mode for new players can be set (e.g., start in PVE).

In-Game Commands:

⚙ Console & RCON Commands:

cheat pvpve.reload                     # Reload config
cheat pvpve.setpve <steamid> <hours>  # Set PVE time (0 = remove)
pvetime <steamid>                     # View remaining PVE time

• Works for offline players (must have joined at least once).

License & HWID System

• Each license is bound to one physical machine (not per ARK server instance).
• X servers on one machine = 1 license.
• New hardware? You no longer need to wait — use the provided bot to update your HWID instantly.

🛎 Support
